Discover smokehouse flavours at Rebellion

Providing a daring marriage of smokehouse flavours with a potent mixture of Cornish Moonshine, the menu isn’t about saving you calories; it’s about giving you the best possible time by serving you mouth-watering food packed full of flavour. From the Hog Roast Stack with tender chunks of pork, streaky bacon and Rattler apple sauce to Slow Roast Brisket and Fillet Steak, you’re sure to leave utterly satisfied.

Celebrate Christmas with a difference

This party season, celebrate in style with a an event to remember at Rick Stein’s Cookery School. From a leisurely lunch to a hands-on evening of creating your own festive dishes, or even a private dining event, the cookery school team will ensure that your Christmas festivities are extra special.

The cookery school can cater for groups of 8 to 35 and you’ll enjoy exclusive use of the venue. If you’re a budding chef, then why not get together with a group of family, friends or colleagues and  cook your own dinner party? After watching two cookery demonstrations, you’ll prepare your own starter and main course before sitting down to enjoy the fruits of your labour, followed by a delicious dessert prepared for you by the chefs.

If you’re a larger group, looking for a more casual festive foodie experience, then a cookery school party buffet will get you in the Christmas spirit, all served from the ‘en-famille’ dining table overlooking the Camel Estuary.
